Description 

Two drilled pockets in the first two low bulges detract from this routes quality. Several other holds have been heavily comfortized, whiched based on how sharp the non-cofortized holds in the slabby section are, is probably a good thing.

A long pull low off of the first drilled pocket which is very tight for two fingers, more like one and a pad, clears the first bulge. Then a serise of compresion moves starting with the second drilled out hold leads past a very difficult 4th clip, which is easier once you are well past it. A slabby section allows one to recover and a final fun bulge on big holds leads to the anchors.


Location 

First route right of the most obvious dihedral (Green Eggs and Ham). Starts over 2 low bulges in the first 15 feet.


Protection 

7 bolts and chain achors.

I belive it is possible to climb this route without the two chipped holds and it would be about 5.13- to 5.13.
